Greenhouse Shading for Seattle Nepenthes: Probably Unnecessary

Logan in Seattle considering a Palram Mythos 6×8 ft twin-wall greenhouse (direct sun 10 AM–2 PM). Asked if shade cloth needed given dappled light.

Likely No Shade Needed

Jeff Dallas: Based on nursery experience with small greenhouses, probably not. Short sun window (4 hrs) + ventilation to prevent overheating should suffice. If burn appears, 40% shade cloth fixes it.

Good Growing!
